A project of this scope inevitably calls on the energies and good will of people in many cities and countries, encompassing curators, collectors, scholars, and museum personnel.
I would particularly like to thank Anne d’Harnoncourt, The George D. Widener Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Joseph J. Rishel, The Gisela and Dennis Alter Senior Curator of European Painting before 1900, whose initial enthusiasm for Mancini was a crucial factor in enabling the Jordan gift and who unfailingly encouraged the present exhibition and publication.
